About Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) (10284)
Optical Coherence Tomography, also known as Time Domain OCT (TD-OCT), created an image by sending the focused near-infrared light into the tissue. The light reflected back from the tissue was measured by combining with a reference beam; only coherent reflections from the tissue combine with the reference beam to create the image. The light is then scanned further into the tissue by adjusting a small mirror on the reference beam to correlate the coherence with a deeper depth in the sample. The limitation of TD-OCT is that the moving reference mirror limits image acquisition speed. Frequency Domain OCT represents a quantum leap in intravascular imaging technology. Instead of slowly analyzing the tissue point-by-point, FD-OCT simultaneously analyzes thousands of data points at remarkable speeds by scanning through the bandwidth of near-infrared wavelengths instead of moving the reference mirror.
